I haven’t opened my blog’s back end in over a month! Wahhhhhh! Anyway, hello, I am finally posting something.
Fact: There are so many things to see and do in BF!
I’ve lived close to BF all my life, but I don’t think that I’ve really explored this place enough until now.
Last weekend the boys and I visited the BF Saturday Market to show our support to my cousin, Dani, and (of course) to indulge in the yummy things that her latest venture, Mucheria MNL, had to offer. This cousin of mine was born to a mother who cooks well, so I already knew that the food on their menu would be excellent.
Muncheria MNL is a partnership between Dani and her good friend, Michi, and together these ladies aim to serve good quality comfort food to people who love to eat. Like me. And eat was exactly what we all did.
I let Dani choose a sandwich for me, then left to explore the other stalls while she prepared. We came close to closing time, so some of the vendors were already packing up. I missed the seafood, which was a shame, but at least I know I have something to come back for.
I bought some fruits while waiting for my food, and oh my gulay they were all so nice and sweet. Especially the atis! I’ve already decided to come back for more next weekend. I think I want to get some cauliflower and broccoli, too, coz those looked good.
MrC, on the other hand, grabbed some nachos as an appetizer. It was nearly gone by the time I got to him, so no photo. I caught up with the kiddo at the Muncheria MNL stall, and he had apparently already been munching on these yummy maple glazed bacon donuts while I was away. I took some home and had them the next day at home.
They are great paired with Boom’s Cold Brew Coffee! Boom is MrC’s college friend, and it’s nice that we are able to try his products and, of course, support his business, too. I’m glad I finally got to try this! They ran out during the last Block Party, and I was sad that I didn’t get to have any.
Today’s breakfast from yesterday’s #thebfsaturdaymarket. Maple glazed bacon donuts from #muncheriamnl and barako Mexican cold coffee from #boomscoldbrew. I am so going back there next week. #supportlocal #trylocalph #nofilter #onmytable #foodstagram #pepperph #instagood #InstaFood #Instakaw #yummy #itswhatsforbreakfast A photo posted by MrsC | Patricia Cuyugan (@mrspcuyugan) on
If you wanna go check them out, now is the time! In case you can’t decide on what to eat, I recommend everything that we had.
Mine was the Beef Tongue Sammich – Tender and juicy beef tongue sandwich on freshly baked ciabatta bread with a thick gravy, kesong puti, and slices of onions. So good. I was glad that Dani picked this sandwich for me to try because it is literally a combination of a few of my favorite things.
Little MrC had the Porchetta Sandwich – Classic Tuscan-style roasted pork loin and belly served on freshly baked ciabatta bread with salsa verde. As much as I loved my food, this is the one that I’m gonna be coming back for. The pork was tender and juicy, with super crispy skin. You get just the right amount of grease on your lips with every bite. So bad for you, but oh so good.

MrC’s food was a winner, too. He ordered the Pulled Brisket – Slow cooked beef brisket with pineapple onion whiskey relish and freshly baked brioche. This meat was juicy with a hint of spice, and the relish matched it perfectly! I had more than a spoonful of this, to be honest. Yes, I tried (and loved) everyone’s food!

So, shall I be seeing you at the market this Saturday? 🙂
Oh yes! I love BF! If only we can afford to live there, esp now that we no longer have a car to use. Goodness, the price of the tricycle fare there is like taking a cab.
Everything looks so yummy, Patty! Where exactly is the BF Saturday Market and from what time to what time is it open? Hope to run into you there soon! 🙂
It’s near the village association! Game, breakfast date soon! 🙂
“So bad for you but oh so good” – gusto ko to haha! I’m drooling over the sandwiches. As a meat lover, I want to try them all! I hope your cousin’s business really grows.
Pulled Brisket with warm Pineapple Onion Whiskey Relish! Pangalan pa lang, nakakatakam na! Grabeh!
I like the outdoor setup for Saturday Markets. They have a lot of great foods here too.
Wow, everything here looks delish! I wish I can go there this Saturday. Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town. Tell them to stay for another week. 🙂
Wow! It’s 11pm and the food photos made me so hungry!!! 🙂
I’d love to drop by next time and taste each and every food you posted.
How’s the mexican barako coffee?
Another great way to binge into good food in the South. If I will be visiting the area, I will definitely visit this place.
Would love to go there, the food looks very scrumptious and oh the pictures look great.
They market must be a very huge one to have all this.
They have pretty unique food offering which I know would click to customers especially those around the BF area. The cold brew coffee is interesting. I wonder how that tasted like?
Like regular coffee, but much more refreshing. Boom’s has different flavors also. The vanilla one is yummers! 🙂
I have been meaning to try and go to weekend markets, but I always end up oversleeping. Hihi. And oh, you had me drooling over that Porchetta Sandwich! 🙂
I like Saturday markets. It’s like there’s always something new to drain our wallets. =) The foods look great! =) Now, I’m hungry! =)
Wow! I’m from the south too and my parents go to bf for the market every Saturday morning. I just didn’t know there were stalls which served meals. I thought it was all fruits and veggies. Haha! Maybe I should come with my parents this Saturday. 🙂
Well, there’s the regular market and then there’s the Saturday market. Go check out the Saturday Market! Lots to see there. 😀
